Meet Our Committee
Caroline Sugden Club Chair, DBS Verifier & Welfare Officer
I’m Caroline (my friends call me Chicken). I started running in 2019 and quickly got the bug. I even taught my Whippet to run with me (without tripping me up!)
I didn’t hesitate when asked to be on the committee and to be more involved. I juggle that with a very busy job, being a wife, mummy and also a cub leader at a local group in Gildersome. There’s definitely more to running a running club than meets the eye but I absolutely love it and am very proud to be a part of it and what it’s has done to bring people together in the local community.
Relaunching the DDWT Walkie Talkies group in October has made the club even more inclusive so I have a great sense of achievement being part of DDRC. My goal is to be a run leader if I can stay injury free!
Dawn Morton Treasurer & Welfare Officer
I’d been running for a few years when I saw Facebook posts about a new run group in the village. I wanted to help out so I put myself forward as treasurer. Snapped my hand off they did .. I guess it’s a job no one wants !😄. Running with the club since day one I was happy and proud to watch it grow, but seeing from the inside the time and effort needed by run leaders of which we had very few, I felt the time was right to have a go at run leading myself. I’ve met so many lovely people through doing so it’s been a completely positive experience. It’s good for getting me out too as if I’m leading and it’s raining .. I can’t cancel , I still have to go! I’ve now taken on the role of Welfare Officer to support our members, I’m here for a chat or to support for all our members.
David Sullivan Club Secretary and Membership Secretary
I'm David and I've been running on and off for the last 20 years. I started as a way to lose weight, but trained on my own which was tough. When a new parkrun started in Bramley, it spawned a new running club (Bramley Breezers) and so I started to run with them. Running with a group is so much more fun and beneficial. When I bumped into some Dynamos at a parkrun in the summer of 2021 I decided to give the club a go as it was closer to home and I haven't looked back (although I still occasionally run with the Breezers who are my second claim). I was happy to accept the invitation to join the committee and I'm looking forward to taking on the Membership Secretary role (and you can ask me what second claim means).
John Kavanagh
Hello, everyone. I'm JK. I'm a married dad of two. My experience of running has been a swift learner curve with the rapid expansion of the Drighlington Dynamos. I myself have been running since December 2020 and have been runleading since October 2021. I'm thoroughly enjoying volunteering my time with the DDRC Committee and indeed runleading with the club. It's a very rewarding role to see individuals progress within the club. I look forward to welcoming you on your next run with us.
